Nikon coolpix s1. Camera displays message : "this card cannot be used" with no memory card. and then no buttons work. With the memory card installed no photos can be save and error: Card cannot be read. I was thinking it might be a firmware problem, I would like some idea before I send it off to be repaired?

Its possible that the internal memory is busted. The solution for this is... Buy a memory card, memory cards are cheap nowadays. If using a memory card still doesn't help. You might want to just get yourself a new camera because you probably wouldn't ...

The camera switches on fine - will take a pictur/ review - but then requests that the camera bes witched off/ on- do that - screen message appears system error [o.i.s]. Happened to try the camera with out memory card [ SanDisk ultra 8GB] - works fine! - tried another cars [same model] from another camera - same problem! any ideas gratefully received

The problem is isolated when there's a memory card in the camera, is it right? Are you using a brand new memory card? What type of card is it (SD, MicroSD, MiniSD)? If it's brand new, you need to verify with the manual if the camera could ...

The screen on my camera says 'Memory Card Locked'. The solution is to take out the memory card and flick the switch on the side. But I can't take the memory card out- it appears to be stuck. At the same time as the screen starting to say 'Memory Card Locked' the memory card only comes out half way so I can't flick the switch. How do I solve this problem??

After downloading to the computer, did you use the computer to erase the card? If so, you need to format the card in the camera. ...

When I turn the camera on I get the message "memory card error". The only button on the camera which then works is the menu button but it just brings up the screen and then the same error message. Yes, I have replaced the memory card and the first memory card works in our other camera so it is not a problem with the card. My computer also fails to recognise the camera when I connect it via the usb port. Any bright ideas?

You need to format the card in the camera. Go into the menu and scroll to "format" and follow the on-screen instructions. This will erase and initialize the card . To download pictures, the most trouble-free way is to use a card reader and download t ...

Unable to show the menu, the top screen does not show any number of pictures to take it only shows the brackets i have a 1gb memory card in. When i turn the camera on the shutter speed and f stop and other info appear but have noticed that the clock and the battery symbol flash for a short period and then the f stop and the shutter speed disappear but other info stays. I have replaced with a new battery but still have the same problem could there be a problem with the memory card. Thanks John Fo

It is possible that the small built in back-up battery is failing or has failed. This battery is built in and recharged by the main camera battery, three (3) days of charging will recharge it and it should last for approx one (1) month. For more deta ...

I have a pentax IST DS. Three months ago I had the camera repaired with the technician telling me there was something wrong with the memory card reader. Symptoms - able to take a picture but when I would go to review the picture I would either get a message that said the image could not be viewed or the image would appear with faint vertical lines on it. When trying to remove these images from the memory card the files did not appear. Three months after the repair the same problems are occurin

I have a Kodak EasyShare V550 camera.
I've had it for years and had no problems with it until recently.
Now I am unable to upload photos to the computer.
I've tried using Picasa, Roxio, and Windows to upload the photos, but all of them say that the memory card is empty ... but when the memory card is in the camera, I can see and review all of the photos.
Could be that the camera and/or the memory card are over the hill, but I'm still hoping that I can get our vacation photos from it

My digicam corrupted all the files in the memory. when i formatted the memory card and open the digicam it work well but when i turned it off and open it again ''card error'' appeared, so i think my digicam has a problem i guess it has virus because it currupted all the files in the memory card

I've never heard of a virus that attacks a digital camera. Might actually be a problem in the camera itself. ...

My canon EOS 100D digital SLR is saying 'card write protected' when ever I turn it on. It just started to appear on my screen for no apparent reason one day and it won't let me take pictures anymore. It's not the card it's the camera, I have tried sliding the switch on the side of the memory card and even tried new cards in my camera but it happens with every card I insert. I have googled the problem and can't find any solution to fix the problem. Would be very grateful if you could help at all

I appear to have lost all my holiday photos due to a crash within the camera when the memory was reading full. Although the camera is not recognising any images on the card It still has a message saying memory full. I have tried to copy the images within the camera memory onto the apparently empty memory card but again the message comes up no images to copy. I know the data is there because the camera will only let me take 12 frames before it tells me that its memory is full. How can I recover t

How to format an SD card on a Canon SD600 camera when the menu says "memory card locked." The memory card is in the unlocked position. When we put the SD card in another Canon camera (SD780 IS), it works fine, and will store a photo. It appears that something in the SD 600 camera itself is preventing the card from functioning. Can you offer a solution to this problem?

Could be that you have the wrong memory card.\012SD600 will only work with the old SD cards, but the SD780 will take the SDHC cards.SDHC was intended to give 4gb or more of storage, while the old SD started as 16 mb. Different camer ...

This is the second occasion on which this has happened - but using a different memory card. The first time I reformatted the card and, of course, lost my all my exposures! This time I have not reformatted.

I will venture a guess that your SD card has a lock switch near the top. If you unlock it, I think that will allow you to download your pictures. I think the problem is in the SD card. I'll give it another try if unlocking the SD card doesn't work ...

Memory card problem or coolpix problem?

Hello, I have a Nikon Coolpix S6000. It has worked well until this evening when I attempted to erase multiple selected images from the camera. It then froze for a minute and when I got it running again it gives me an error message saying "This card cannot be read". I've been using this memory card for months with no problems, and my computer can still read all of the images. Is the problem with the camera or the card?

Have checked all 4 different batteries and voltages all appear at of above specified 3.7 VDC. Still only one of the 4 will ever allow the camera to functio

A voltage test alone cannot determine if the battery is good unless you can have the current rating of the battery tested. So if the camera comes on after a charge it seems that the battery is not retaining current for the camera to boot on.\01 ...
